Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 594 Rapid Progress
Lu Ye's spiritual consciousness carefully guarded the spiritual body, feeling the various changes within the spiritual body.

Countless golden dots fall into the spiritual body and turn into nourishment for spiritual practice.

He hurriedly tried his best to recite the Bodhisattva Sutra, absorbing it as much as possible.

Lu Ye was in a daze and didn't know how long it had been before he finally woke up from his meditation. He used his spiritual consciousness to look inside the spirit.

The spirit of the Bodhisattva of Merit looked just like him, wearing tattered heavy armor, holding a heavy sword in his hand, with circles of golden halos behind his head.

Its body size was originally about five or six feet, but now it has almost doubled to about ten feet.

More than that.

Lu Ye’s consciousness continued to look inward at his body, going down into the sea of ​​​​qi.

He discovered that the vortex of mana in his sea of ​​energy had also increased several times, and the liquid mana inside was roaring and surging, swirling like a river.

In the center of the magic power vortex, the Nascent Soul, which was originally the size of a baby, suddenly grew to the height of a young child. Its body glowed with golden light, and it looked naturally extraordinary.

Lu Ye was both surprised and happy, knowing that he had already cultivated to the middle stage of Nascent Soul in the human world.

However, even if he had a cheat, he knew that it would take a long time for him to break through another small realm and reach the later stage of Nascent Soul.

Who would have thought that after crossing the long river of time and space to come here, just by making a great wish to revitalize the human race, he could easily obtain such benefits.

You should know that the Meritorious Bodhisattva Sutra was not originally his main practice.

This is because in the afterlife, killing is easy but gaining merit is difficult.

This martial art has very demanding requirements and one must accumulate merits. The more merit one has gained for the human race, the faster one will progress. In the past, the masters who practiced this art all slayed demons and monsters, especially killing monsters to improve their cultivation.

However, the human world has ruled the earth for nearly ten thousand years, and the demons have been driven to remote corners, and their numbers have been greatly reduced. Where do so many demons come from for humans to kill?

As a result, this martial art gradually declined, and eventually its inheritance was cut off. Even orthodox Buddhist practitioners would not choose to practice this unconventional martial art.

Therefore, when Lu Ye first learned this skill, he only tried it briefly and did not make it his main practice.

However, after he destroyed a passage from the Two-Winged Demon Realm to the human race, he was blessed with great merit and this technique was greatly advanced.

At that time, his spiritual body of merit and virtue grew rapidly, and he evolved into a golden wheel of merit and virtue, and obtained the sharp fighting method of the Vajra Body to Subdue Demons.

He also thought that was the end of it.

I'm afraid you won't encounter such a great opportunity to make a lot of merit.

For example, later on, True Lord Red Dragon blew himself up and destroyed another passage between the two worlds. Lu Ye participated in it, but he only got a tiny bit of merit.

From this we can see that the conditions for obtaining merit are harsh.

However, Lu Ye did not expect that, just now, the monk Tianti had only made a great wish and had not yet put it into practice, but the Merit Bodhisattva Sutra had responded and something strange had occurred.

Just now, he saw clearly in his sea of ​​consciousness that the residual souls of the human race in the dark gray light spots falling from the sky were all dressed in contemporary clothes.

Half of them were wrapped in animal skins, looking extremely shabby and miserable.

The other half were even more miserable than those wrapped in animal skins. Their bodies were mutilated. Some had missing limbs and torsos, some had lost their eyeballs, some had open chests with their internal organs missing, and some were even burnt and roasted.

There are many spots of light, falling like snowflakes.

Lu Ye's spiritual sense was powerful. With just a quick glance, he estimated that there were about ten thousand of them.

Most of the residual souls have illusory bodies and blurred faces.

But nearly a thousand residual souls still have clear faces and deep facial features.

Even dozens of the wronged souls still retained consciousness, knelt down in front of Lu Ye and demanded revenge.

One old man in particular bowed again and again to express his gratitude to the benefactor for saving his granddaughter.

Could it be the soul of the old village chief?
Lu Ye understood after just a brief thought that the residual souls in these dark spots of light might be the victims of the A-type tribe who had died violently over the years.

He and Monk Tianti made a great vow to create a sky for the human race, from the bottom of their hearts.

There was a sense of connection in the dark, and the wronged souls who had died in the past on this land came to him. He purified and liberated them, and they gave him merits in return. Little by little, they accumulated into a large amount, and in one fell swoop helped him to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage.

This shows how humiliating and desperate the human race was in the past.

Lu Ye clenched his fist.

In fact, despite his excitement, he was actually doubtful in his heart as to whether he could succeed in taking the difficult path he had chosen.

The final victory of the human race over the demon race was the result, but countless lives were sacrificed in the course of history.

He and Monk Tianti are more likely to become martyrs.

At this moment, his cultivation level broke through, and Wu Yi gave him a strong needle.

"Done!"

Lu Ye clapped his hands, and it was just a life at stake.

If Wang Hu had not helped him, he would have died in the dilapidated temple long ago. Every day he was alive after that was a blessing.

Now that I have just made the initial wish, I have reaped such rich rewards. If I can really implement the plan, even if it is just a short-term plan, the abundant merits I will gain will allow me to easily break through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm, right?

If we could turn all the nearly one hundred human tribes in the Hundred Thousand Mountains into sparks, what a huge achievement that would be!
Maybe there is hope for me to become a Void Refining cultivator!
Lu Ye decided to pass on this skill to Shang Tianti immediately, as the benefits should not be monopolized by one person.

A few days later.

Monk Lu Ye and Tianti traveled through the Ten Thousand Mountains and came to a secluded valley.

This was once a human village territory, but it was destroyed in turmoil and has never been rebuilt since.

The demons who occupied the rich land of the Ten Thousand Mountains naturally looked down upon this place.

There is naturally a reason why many human tribes did not choose to settle here.

It's actually simple. First, the terrain here is rugged and remote, transportation is inconvenient, and the production is not much.

Secondly, there is a special species of stinking grass here, which grows all over the mountains and has a particularly strong vitality.

The grass is as its name suggests, it is so smelly that it has no friends.

It is unbearable for both demons, beasts and humans.

Unfortunately, these weeds are extremely tenacious and will grow again in the next spring even after being burned.

If you use magic to weed, of course you can get rid of all the weeds at once, but noble magic is monopolized by the demons.

The demon masters would not and would not bother to do such a thing. They occupied the fertile land, so how could they care about the well-being of the inferior tribes below?
Other than that, there's not much to fault with this place.

Although spiritual energy is relatively scarce, according to Monk Lu Ye's Tianti's perspective, it is more than enough to cultivate a Jindan monk according to the standards of later generations.

As for whether it smells bad or not, the surrounding area can be completely covered by the formation, thus naturally isolating the smell outside.

"Not bad!"

The more Lu Ye looked, the more satisfied he became.

He removed the defensive shield, and was immediately hit by a strong stench, which almost made him fall.

Lu Ye hurriedly cast the protective spell again to completely cover his body, and then used a few cleansing spells. He bent down and smelled again, and there was still a faint stench between the Taoist robes.

He laughed.

It’s better if it stinks. The stinkier it is, the safer it is.

"Old Shang, not bad!" He nodded to Shang Tianti, "This place is really well chosen."

"But a cunning rabbit has three burrows, so we should choose two more places as backup."

"To prevent us from being caught in the same trap if something goes wrong in the future."

Shang Tianti nodded and said that he would wake up naturally, and he would find the other two places in the next few days.

"Brother Lu, now that the place has been chosen, what name should we give it?"

"Fire Village? No, no, it's a bit too vulgar."

"Dengxian Village? This name seems a bit too big!"

Lu Ye made the decision immediately.

"Just call it Lingyun Sect!"

"You become the head of the sect, and I will be the elder who teaches the skills."

"This is the main altar of our Lingyun Sect. When we open up more strongholds, they will all be considered branch altars."

"Lao Shang, I promise you that I will reopen the Lingyun Sect in this life. From now on, you will be the founder!"

Shang Tianti's face lit up with joy when he heard this, but he quickly shook his head to decline, saying that he was just a Jindan Taoist priest, how could he be the leader of Lingyun Sect?
Brother Lu, you have to be the leader.

Lu Ye patted his shoulder as usual again.

Lao Shang, please don't refuse.

When it comes to authenticity, who can compare to you?

You become the leader of Lingyun Sect, which is a legitimate and natural thing.

I will be my guest elder, responsible for nurturing the immortal seedlings in the sect. In the village, you are the village chief, in the sect, you are the head, both internally and externally, you are the top leader, this is appropriate!

If you become the leader and deal with the demon tribe, you will inevitably have to swallow your anger and do many things to flatter others.

They have to endure what ordinary people cannot endure, suffer countless humiliations, and sometimes even have to watch tragedies happen for the sake of the overall situation.

Lao Shang, your difficulties have just begun.

My job is simple. I will stay in the sect’s headquarters and cultivate the next generation of immortal cultivators.

Your task is far more difficult than mine, and no one else can do it except you.

You must be the leader!
When Shang Tianti heard this, a hint of heroism flashed across his face, and he agreed, feeling very happy.

The human race’s small goal will be achieved many years later.

But for him personally, the first small goal has been achieved, and from now on, I will be the founder of Lingyun Sect.

Lu Ye was looking at Shang Tianti with a smile on his face, as if he was looking at an old ox with a bridle.

The key to making good promises is to deliver on them from time to time.

If nothing else can be done, the first thing to do is to put the hat of the leader of Lingyun Sect on Shang Tianti’s head.

Actually.

The Lingyun Sect only has the leader and the elder.

But for Shang Tianti, the meaning is different. With one more title, he seems to have found his life goal.

It's like hanging a carrot in front of a donkey so it can be used. You'll have to fish for more carrots for Shang Tianti in the future.

"Oh, right." Lu Ye remembered something and asked seriously, "Brother Shang, I'm going to teach you the Meritorious Bodhisattva Sutra. How's your practice going recently?"

"Can you gain a lot of merit?"

"You have been in this village for fifty years. Logically, you should have gained more merit than me."

It would have been better if Lu Ye didn't ask.

Shang Tianti was filled with shame after hearing this.

"It's okay, the income is not that much..."

"Oh, right, we need to select a few array node locations around this village ruins. I'll go explore them..."

Shang Tianti turned around and used his escape technique to escape, it seemed that he couldn't wait to get away from Lu Ye.

The road is very rare.

How come everything is fine when we don't mention merit, but this guy runs away as soon as we mention public morality?

No way, this guy has been the village chief for fifty years, right? He hasn't gained any merit at all?
If I hadn't happened to come here, would he really want to join the demon clan and become a member of the demon clan?

Lu Ye shook his head and decided not to think about it any more. There were only so many people he needed right now.

No one is perfect, and no gold is pure. As long as it can be of use to me, I won't care too much. After all, there will be no fish in clear water.

It doesn't matter what he means, as long as he persists, Shang Tianti will be able to obtain the merit he wants.

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the ruins, feeling a surge of pride in his heart.

"This is my first foundation in this world!"

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.

This day.

In the rugged mountain range of the Ten Thousand Mountains, two little demons flew from the sky, riding on the clouds and mist, and flying very low.

The two were wearing crudely made armor, each carrying a large flag with the word "Xun" on their backs, and a tiger-shaped magic token around their waists.

These two little demons are of ordinary bloodline.

One is a cat demon, the other is a bird demon.

The cultivation base of the two is not high, they are only at the intermediate stage of Qi training. The main reason they can fly in the air is that the bird monster has a magical power of flying.

His magical power couldn't allow him to fly fast or high, not to mention he had to bring the cat demon with him, so the two demons could only fly just above the top of the mountain.

Looking at their lazy demeanor, we can tell that they don't take the patrolling work seriously and just do it to get by.

Neither of them inspected the place carefully. Instead, they kept whispering to each other and gossiping to kill time.

The cat demon first complained that the big guys above were really not good demons.

The old White Tiger Demon King and the other two Demon Kings have already signed a truce alliance and will be signing the treaty soon.

What kind of danger could there be in these 100,000 mountains? They had to force the two demons to come out and patrol the mountains.

Could it be that those inferior tribes would rebel?

Who is this patrol guarding against? It's really a waste of time.

In recent days, the Demon King has taken in a new male lover and is in a good mood. He opened his private storehouse and distributed spiritual wine, so that everyone at home can have a few drinks.

It's really unfair that you and I have no background and have to be sent out to do this hard work of patrolling the mountains.

When Que Yao heard the cat demon complaining, he quickly made a hushing sound and looked around.

The cat demon scolded, "You are just too cautious. We are patrolling in the sky and there is no one around. Are you afraid that there are ears on the walls?"

The bird demon finally felt relieved.

Brother, it’s better to be careful.

If the person above just says something, we have to run ourselves to pieces. After all, I am just a little demon practicing Qigong.
It's a good thing that the three demon kings signed a treaty to cease war. Just think about it, in the past few years, the three families fought each other, and countless little demons like us who practice Qi cultivation died.

Just among our colleagues, dozens have become cannon fodder.

We can survive and patrol the mountains, it's just a bit hard and tiring, just be content.

Let's find a village of the inferior tribes later and catch a two-legged sheep to eat. Isn't it more delicious than drinking a few glasses of wine?
The cat demon was so happy when he heard this that his saliva started to flow out.

Okay, okay, Brother Que, what you said makes sense.

We don't want to drink that wine, let's find some meat for ourselves.

As they were talking, they had already flown over a hill.

The two little demons were no longer lazy, but became alert and looked around.

It turns out that this place is a no-man's land, under the jurisdiction of the Three Emperors, and it is extremely easy to encounter the little demons under the command of the other two demon emperors.

Over the past ten years, patrolling demon soldiers have often gone missing here, and the place has suffered the loss of small foundation-building level leaders and even a golden elixir level commander, making it considered a dangerous place.

There are also rumors that there is a wild monster living here that ran from outside the Ten Thousand Mountains. This monster does not like to eat humans, but only likes to eat monsters.

In short, this area is a dangerous place for the patrolling little demons.

The two monsters flew around the area cautiously for half an hour and nothing happened.

They then breathed a sigh of relief and turned back, preparing to catch a couple of sheep to eat.

The sparrow demon led the way in front and smiled.

"Let's take a shortcut and go over the stinking grass slope ahead."

"I remember there was a village of the Jiazi lowly tribe there. There were many strong men and women there, and the food was quite delicious."

The cat demon gave a thumbs up.

"Brother, if we want to know where the delicious two-legged sheep are, it has to be you. You fly high and see far, and you are well-informed."

The sparrow demon was just about to be humble.

At this moment, the two of them happened to fly over a slope of stinking grass, which was indeed extremely smelly. It drifted ten miles against the wind, making the two monsters cry.

They cursed, coughed and dodged, but suddenly two huge hands condensed with magic power flew out from the woods on the top of the stinky grass hill.

He grabbed one with each hand and sealed off all their demonic powers.

brush!
The two monsters disappeared from the sky!

The next moment, the sky spun and they were thrown heavily to the ground.

All I heard was a man's calm voice.

"Disciples, this time this is your opponent!"

"Take turns one by one."

"Don't worry, everyone has a share!"

"Be more careful. Don't chop it into a pile of rotten meat like last time. It's too bloody!"
